The BP Settlement has hit High Gear

by Bill on May 24, 2013

BP Settlement News

deepwater horizon settlement  It didn`t happen over night by any means, there is still work to do, but the BP Settlement is paying. We told you a year ago after some meetings with the top brass of the settlement  in New Orleans, these people wanted to pay you, and they do, and have. It just took time to get the needed infrastructure in place, what Pat Juneau and David Duval inherited from the Feinberg administration was laden with layers of special interests.

They had to make some changes and have, the addition of Postlethwaite & Netterville, was one of those needed changes. There are many more, some we know about, and some we may never.

BP is so upset they are trying to rewrite the settlement, and are now appealing to the 5th circuit, and using political weight, to get their way.

Even though BP denies going to leaders in the U.K. to lobby for them with the Obama administration, don`t you believe a word they say. BP has finally realized how much they may have to pay, and the numbers are staggering.

BP, from the very beginning has used a delay, deny and defend strategy common with unscrupulous insurance companies. Many got frustrated with the GCCF system and just gave up, that was their aim. Many now realize they do qualify under the present system, and are coming back in droves.

BP Lawyers

The commercials are everywhere, many firms are accelerating marketing efforts to get a piece of the BP Claims pie. Many of these firms will charge you 25% plus some other hidden fees. The Judge capped it, but some lawyers have attempted to go around the order, with extra fees. Most firms are just getting into the business, and this is a business, but they have very little experience processing BP Settlement Claims. We hear horror stories from people every day at 1-800-BP-CLAIM. If you are a Law Firm and would like our assistance please email Brittany@BPCLAIMS.org

CPA`s and BP Claims

Many people have decided to let their CPA`s handle their BP Claims, what we are seeing here is that many of them don`t understand the terms of the settlement. The settlement is not just a plug in the numbers apparatus. There are excluded groups, causation tests, and so much more. We are currently assisting several major CPA Firms and Law Firms, and are processing their clients BP Claims. We have found partnering with CPA firms has been very beneficial for the client. If you are a CPA Firm, and would like some information please email Sarah@BPClaims.org.

Our BP Claims Network

We have assisted people and businesses since the very beginning of this event, our first website helped people receive aid from Catholic Charities. We have battled Feinberg and BP, and told people not to take Quickpays. We have helped people that are suffering from serious illness due to the spill, and will continue to.

Combined we have over 2 Billion Dollars worth of Claims in the BP Settlement, and we have over 300 Million dollars worth of paid claims.

If you need assistance, we are happy to assist you, or your business.

The groups within our network have a vast amount of experience and some very deep connections, we are here to help you.

Our Fees start at 15%, there are no hidden fees, and we don`t get paid until you do.

We will Help You with your BP Settlement.

 

 

 

BP Needs to abide by the BP Settlement

by Bill on May 16, 2013

BP Settlement News

bp settlement BP needs to stop with the commercials, and the B.S. we are on your side, when in fact they are doing everything they can to undermine the BP Settlement. After getting shot down attempting to rewrite the BP Settlement by Judge Barbier several times, they are now trying to get their way in the 5th circuit.

BP is attempting to eliminate numerous categories of claimants, we have been telling you this for the last month.

So when you see their commercials on T.V., telling you how well they are treating the people along the Gulf.

Know the TRUTH, THEY ARE NOT ON YOUR SIDE. Actions speak louder then words.

This is all about money, and BP is doing it`s best to save theirs.

Recent BP Settlement History:

  • BP sues Pat Juneau for misinterpreting how he is suppose to administer funds under the terms of the BP Settlement. Let me tell you something, we process many BP Claims in house and these people stick to the letter of the Settlement. All BP wants to do here is exclude certain categories, professionals, construction, media, and agriculture are the prominent.
  • BP has tried several times to rewrite the BP Settlement, and tried to enroll the Judge and the P.S.C. The P.S.C. and the Judge have stood firmly, holding BP to the terms of the Settlement.
  • BP uses appeals as a method to stall payments, overwhelming the DeepWater Horizon Settlement Appeals Process.
  • BP sets up traps within the BP Settlement, such as the Customer Mix Test, if a Claimant is not covered under a straightforward V Trend model, most will never see a dime. We are woking to fix that.
  • BP agrees to pay stockholders 8.5 Billion for losses and expedites payments, but not the people of the Gulf.
  • BP hires Feinberg who declares himself Independent until the Judge ORDERS him to Stop, meanwhile over 200,000 people take his devilish Quickpays.
  • BP now appeals Judge Barbiers Decision to the 5th Circuit, and wants to eliminate dozens of categories they initially agreed to pay under the terms of the BP Settlement.

Still think BP is on Your Side.

What are we seeing NOW

The DeepWater Horizon Settlement has accelerated it`s processing capabilities. Postlethwaite & Netterville, the accounting firm that is now handling the majority of the BP Claims seems to be doing a good job, at the very least, much better then their predecessor. If there are issues with a claim, we are often given a phone call, or an email, and time to cure the issue before incompleteness notices, or other notifications are given. This has been a relief, and a much needed departure from past processing procedures. We can tell you from first hand experience that they strictly adhere to the terms of the BP Settlement.

Appeals, appeals, and more appeals, BP is still up to it`s old tricks trying to appeal BP Settlement Claims. They are taxing the Appeals system, and the peoples patience. The Judge and the Plaintiff Steering Committee are doing their best to thwart them, but still they persist.

Our History

We have heard from more then 50,000 people over the last 3 years. Our first site was SurvivetheSpill.com that was meant to get people help that needed help, from people that could give help. The issue was, too many people needed help, we eventually would align with Catholic Charities, and the Guys from Deadliest Catch, and we would help 1,000`s, with SurvivetheSpill.com.

We have been at this from the beginning, and we know from  first hand knowledge what is really going on.

We were then told to foll0w the BP Claims process by some attorneys because it was going to be a mess, and we did, that`s when BPClaims.org was born.

This would lead us into processing claims during the GCCF days, and eventually building The Network of Claims Professionals we have today.

Combined we have over 300 Million dollars in claims paid, and over 2 Billion dollars in the current settlement.

If you need assistance with your BP Settlement call us today at 1-800-BP-CLAIM

BP Claims Professionals are only a phone call or a click away.
